Keith Lusher Doug Mauro made a trip to Lake Borgne to try and catch speckled trout. He launched at Lake Catherine Island Marina with live shrimp and decided to take a short cut through Unknown Pass. “I’m glad we did! We got to Unknown Pass just as it was getting light and saw birds diving and shrimp jumping,” he says. Doug says the trout were popping the surface and he couldn’t get to his pole fast enough. He put a live shrimp on underneath a cork and casted into the action. “The cork never stopped! I had nonstop action for about 30 minutes!” Mauro says. After that the action stopped and Doug was forced to move, he tried some more spots in Lake Borgne and the L&N Bridge but couldn’t manage anything.
Ticfaw River Sac-a-lait
Matin Duvic wanted to fish the Tchefuncte River but heard some reports of it being muddy so he decided to make a trip to the Tickfaw River. “The water looked good. It was up a little but I only saw 3 trucks with trailers in the parking lot so I figured I’d have the river to myself,” he says. Martin fished the docks and bulkheads along the river and started catching sac-a-lait. He was tightening a black and chartreuse jig and says the fish were a little on the small side but still had plenty enough for dinner.

Carr Drive Limit of Bass
Roger Sissac Roger Sissac fishes the Carr Drive Canals often and says a limit of bass is almost guaranteed this month. He made a trip and started fishing wooden structures “I Starting fishing close to the bulkheads and picked up a few keeper bass. Then I found a few grassy areas and worked those over and picked up a couple more,” he says. Roger then finished off his limit by turning back to the bulkheads with Shu-Shu Slugs in the Gunmetal color.
Duck Pond Caution
Duck ponds are a favorite for most fishermen who target redfish. While the ICW and Biloxi Marsh are littered with go-to spots for anglers in November, it’s important to remember that it’s duck season and some ponds may have hunters in their blinds waiting for the first flock to come in at day break. Please give them the right of way when it comes to ponds located off of the main canals. Their seasons aren’t very long and all it takes is a boat running into their territory to ruin their morning.
